Narrative Summaries on Public Expenditure for Health

Narrative summaries present a picture of the health financing landscape at the country level with a focus on public expenditure trends over time. Health policy makers in each country have analyzed and presented their own budgetary data, supplemented as needed with global resources, and complemented these write- ups with descriptions of the policy trends that drove results. Paired with additional DRM collaborative products such as the Making the Case for Health: A Messaging Guide for Domestic Resource Mobilization, narrative summaries can be used by policymakers in Ministries of Health to engage in policy dialogue with their counterparts in their respective Ministries of Finance. Co-produced by Armenia, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Nepal, Pakistan, and Vietnam.
